DST, we're all on summer vacation. As soon as the weather cools and drives people back inside the thread will pick up again. You'll like this one DST. A few posts back I was saying how I tell my buddy, one seed per pot and then you chime in and say I have no problems with putting more than one plant in a pot. My lemon skunks which have been growing in one gallon smart pots, are only maybe seven inches tall and packed with internodes, the spacing is crazy it's so tight. I decided saturday night when the lights came on to transplant them. In smart pots the roots grow right into the walls and bottom of the pots, so I took a razor blade and cut the bottoms out of the pots, took one of my ten gallon grow bags, rolled the sides down and filled the bottom about a quarter of the way with soil and then I took the one gallon pots and put them both into the ten gallon grow bag. Now the lemons have a place to spread their roots for the next week before I flip the lights. I was going to do it this weekend but I want to give the lemons another week to grow. Also last night since they are big enough the two lemons were fimmed. I'll have some pics up in a few minutes, I need another cup of coffee first.

Congrats hotsauce, nothing like bringing in the first crop. I've looked at durban poison many times and the amount of leaves in the pictures always stops me from buying it, although I understand the smoke is supposed to be very good. My partner grew a mazar once, we called it the Odouls of weed. Lots of leaves, so many we couldn't find any bud after trimming it. What little we did get, well, it was the Odouls of weed.

Today is the end of week five for vegging for one LA Confidential, one OG18, one sleestack, and the end of week four for the lemon skunks. All of the mentioned strains have been crossed with the same skunk father, except the lemon skunks, those are beans from a previous grow from my partner, they are the females I have so far. I also have two beans of my own making that are five weeks old but I still cannot detect their sex. I also have another LA Confidential that I chopped the main stalk cause I thought it was a male but I still have a part of it growing to make sure. I sure hope I didn't chop a female.

The first pic is my og18, the second my sleestack, the third the LA and the fourth my two lemon skunks. The rest are group shots.

The last pic are my plants from the seed I made, can't tell what they are yet.

I am so pleased with my room. Since I live in florida and the heat here is just killer, most of the lights on time, is at night. Next week when I switch them over to 12/12, it will be lights on from seven at night till seven in the morning. After about three hours of the lights being on, my temp and humidity doesn't budge. Forty five percent humidity and a steady seventy seven degrees under the canopy, the room itself stays a degree or two cooler. The plants are showing no signs of any deficiencies and even the leaf tips, there is next to no burn anywhere.

That's it for me until later. Time to make the rounds, visit my partner and my vietnam vet buddy to see how things are going under the big hps. I'll give you guys an update later today.

Sounds good HU, I think as long as you know what size you want and you are using your own plant stock then why not grow multiples in the same pot/container.

So this is my first grow and it's harvest time for my Green Crack. This is my first time manicuring and it is F-ing time consuming. My first plant took me 5 hours to do. I thought it was going to take 5 hours to do all 3. So I did 1 Friday and 1 yesterday and I have the 3rd today. Yesterday I knocked it out in 2 1/2 hours. I was relieved. Next week My Blue Dream will be ready. I am so freak'n happy they weren't ready yet. Well here's a couple pics of what I have right now. I wish I had a better camera to give these buds some justice. They smell like pineapple and are sticky as fuck. They are pretty frosty too.
This was the first girl I harvested. She was the smallest of the 3

This is a pic of the first girl drying.

Jeez D... You have some of the prettiest buds EVER. Make some of us look bad.

Cheech... It does suck to spend so long trimming. I know the feeling. But it is so rewarding to me to have perfectly manicured buds to smoke. It's like an art show sitting in the jars. Nicely done.

Oh... and Hotsause... I've had that experience smoking freshly clipped buds. Just wait for some of the nutrients to leave them and it will serve you better.

Nice pretty plants HU.

 

[cheechzilla]

Yeah jigfresh it is rewarding and these buds look sexy now.

Thank you kind sir and congrats on your first cheech, let them dry, stick them in some jars, try not to smoke too much and in a couple of weeks you'll be a happy camper. Remember to open your jars a few times a day at the start to let them breathe.

 

[days to daze]

just seeking a little advise on my next vertical grow...

at the moment i have 12 around a bare bulb 600..
next i want 2 bare bulb 600s and 6 or 9 plants....

6-9 ak47 topped around the 5th node... vegged for about 8 weeks.. and trained to grow vert... pulling all the shoots to the side with the bulb...

set up like this X=plant 0=bulb
X X X
X 0 X 0 X
X X X

or if it was just 6 i would do this
X X X
0 0
X X X

but it seems like a waste of light... although im working off 1g per what(probably more like 1.5), 6 plants would be 1200 so about 7 oz per plant i just dont know if that is better than 9 plants which would be more like 5oz per plant.

i dont know how well the vert grow works (im only week 3 flower but its looking awesome) but do you think i could yield more with 6 or 9?
going to be working with a space about 8foot long by 6 foot wide by 8 foot tall

any ideas would be great. ive been racking my brain for ages trying to think of a better way... atm my 12 plants around 1 600 veg for 4 weeks in a 6foot hexagonal tent.. plants on 2 levels.. is too much .. its a fucking jungle.. i cant even get in.. so i need to rethink y next grow.

heres how the current grow looks at 2 weeks flower
(i think i allready showed right? sorry if i did) sorry about the quality it was a phone camera.






and every few days.... i have to do this ...

DST. I have a treat for you. My partner in stupid, he's so organized it just wants to make me puke. He pulls out the paperwork from a light he bought back in 1988 from Oregon. It's still in the original envelope along with all the other paperwork. I've taken some pictures of the 'other' paperwork. Does the Bulldog coffeehouse still exist? You'll get a kick out of this. My batteries are charging, so I'll post them later which means tomorrow for you.

This is for those in the states that do hydro. I want to build a cloner and actually have most of the stuff. I just haven't decided on the inside design. What I do know is I need sprayers. Where do I get those misters, or sprayers or nozzles or whatever you call them? I've seen them on a few web sites but seventy five cents to a dollar a piece seems rather steep.

Do hardware stores carry these things? Lowe's or home depot? I have no grow stores near me at all.

Help an old man out.

 

[strictly seedleSs]

Headsup- yes. home depot and lowes carry the tips and anything else you need. even pumps.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To me it looks like the light is only getting the tops of the plants... sorta defeats the vert action. In a space that 'small' I would try to cool the light, so you can actually have it hit all of the plants. To me it seems like most of the good light is going to waste. So my advice is either go horizontal, or cool that light to get it 'in' the plants.

And do you mean that you are getting 1 g/w now? If I was gettng nearly a pound and a half per each grow, I would be happy. You trying to supply the whole county?

 

[days to daze]

well put it this way if i only get a gram per watt now ill be dissapointed.
i dont grow anywhere near where i live. i keep telling the person watching it to lower that bulb ... they seem to think it doesnt need to go lower(they dont agree with vert growing)
ill get the bulb lowered soon.

im looking for more like1.5 per watt

YESSS ALL THOSE LEAFS..... The Bud to leaf ratio is RIDICULOUS
